1st Day of Spring Break

Yay!  We love vacation days.  St. Patricks Day gave us a chance to eat some awesome Lucky Charms for breakfast.  Luke was especially excited that the clovers turned the milk green.  Bonus!



We headed out for an early start at the zoo.  It was 45 degrees - what?! Not right for March in Houston. The cold didn't last too long but it was a chilly morning at the zoo.  We spent a lot more time at some of the inside exhibits like the aquarium, reptile house and Natural Encounters.  Who doesn't like a close up with the piranhas?! 






Luke was excited to show everyone the new baby giraffe and Duncan, the baby elephant that we have visited a couple times while they were at school.



Luke bonked his head climbing on the giraffe so
everyone joined in on the crying pose for the picture.
Twisted, maybe.  Funny, definitely.

We spend some time monkeying around in the African Forest. 





A trip to the zoo would be incomplete without a ride on the carousel and a refreshing drink of Lion's Drool.  Tasty.  




Back at home, we kicked off our spring break vacation movie marathon -  
Star Wars.  Quote of the night -  "I have a bad feeling about this"




But everything is awesome when you have a pot of chocolate gold!
